Property Loss at Fgrnie Not Less
Than S 2 ,500,000.
Stannard May Not be Able to Slip
Out of Landis’ Decision.
Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4.— A special
from Fernie, B. C., to the Spokesman-
Review, says:
It is feared that the loss of life will
reach beyond 100, but there are so
many living people without homes or
shelter or food to be looked after that
up to the present no effort has been
made to ascertain the number of those
who lost their lives.
In the district swept by the flames
there is estimated to have been some
7.000 people. Two thousand of these
people have been sent west to Cran-
brook and Elko, some 1,500 fled from
the flames to the northward and reach
ed Hosmer and other places along the
line.
The Great Northern train took all
the people it could carry up the line,
fighting its way through sheets of
flames before reaching a place of
safety.
Scores of families were separated,
husbands not knowing where their
wives and children were, and in some
instances it was ascertained this morn
ing that members of the same family
were in Cranbrook, Fernie and Hos
mer.
The lowest estimates of the amount
of the loss is placed at $2,600,000, and
as nearly as can be ascertained the in
surance carried will amount to some
thing like $1,500,000. Of the 7,000
people who had been housed yesterday,
3.000 have been taken away. I t is es
timated by the committee appointed
that there will be 3,500 who will have
to be furnished with temporary shelter
and food.

Chicago, Aug. 3.—U nited States At
torney Sims and Spécial Consul K el

petition to the U nited States circuit
court for a rehearing of the Standard
Oil case, in which the appellate court
recently reversed Judge Landis.
*■ Judge Grosscup ana his associates
will be asked to reverse them selves
on the ground that they erred in de
claring that Judge Landis erred. The
petition will aver that the circu it
court m isinterpreted th e testim ony,

and did not understand the legal
prem ises oh which he based his im
p o rtan t decision.
T he three points raised by the court
will be met squarely. T he first is

fenses of the Indiana corporation.
T his is to be flatly denied and the
record to be cited to confirm the
claim th at the court did not read
the decision of the lower court as it
applied to the evidence.
T he second point, th at the whole
offenses were in settlem ents and not
in each shipm ent, and th at ignorance
of existing rates excused the accept
ance of rebates, will be respectfully
characterized as m isapplication of the
law and a ruling co n trary to its
known maxims.
T he third point, that the fine of $29.-
240,000 is excessive and confiscatory,
is to be met by the contention that
the corporation is a chronic offender
and gained m any tim es the am ount of
the fine by alleged rebating m ethods.
The financial statem ents of the com
pany, showing net gains of m ore
than $50,000,000 since the rebating be

Seventy-Four Said to Have Perished
in Destruction of Fernie.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. 4. —As a
result of bush fires the town of Fernie,
B. C., is wiped off the map as a child
cleans a slate. Michel, 14 miles dis
tant, is in flames and the fate of Hos
mer and Sparwood, intervening towns,
is in doubt, they being cut off from
communication.
Over 100 lives 'are known to have
been lost, 74 of them in Fernie.
A territory of 100 square miles is a
seething mass of flames. Through it
are scattered hundreds of lumbermen
ahd prospectors, so that the actual loss
of life will not be known for days.
The properties of the Canadian Pa
cific and Great Northern railways are
destroyed, the bridges and rolling stock
burned so that it is impossible to enter
or leave the burning area.
There is no possibility of estimating
the loss of lifei and property which will
result, for the flames are driven by a
half gale, making it impossible to put
up a fight against their advance.
The conflagration is the greatest
which has ever reached Canada and
ranks only with the San Frtmcisco dis
aster.
For the past month forest fires have
been raging in the mountains of Elk
river valley country, but they have not
been considered serious.
Saturday
morning a heavy wind sprang up from
the west and early in the afternoon
the flames'appeared over the crest of
the mountains to the west of Fernie.
This ran down the mountain side and
before a fire guard could be organized
had entered the town._____

Open Bids at Klamath.
Klamath Falls—Bids were opened
recently for extension of the South
Branch canal of the Klamath project
This work comprises seven miles of
main canal, which will connect the
present canal with the Adams ditch in
the vicinity of Merrill. Two bids were
received for the entire contract, and
other bids were received on schedule
covering portions of the work. The
board of engineers will decide upon
awarding the contract in a few days.
All of the bidders are prepared to rush
work as soon as the contract is let, and
in all probability water for the Adams
system will be carried through the
main canal next year.

Asked if the action of the Am erican

"R esentm ent, no. T he commission
